**Other Names:** Scutellaria barbata, Grass Azalea, Big Flower Purslane, Dragon Beard Peony, Can't Die, Pine Leaf Peony, Sunflower, Purslane
**Botanical Classification:** A genus of the purslane family (Portulacaceae)
**Origin:** Native to Brazil
**Plant Description:** Semi-branch lotus is an annual succulent herb that typically grows between 20 to 30 cm in height. It produces small, kidney-shaped, conical seeds with a gray-black metallic sheen. The seeds mature from July to October.
**Seed Harvesting:** The harvested part is the semi-branch lotus fruit. The optimal harvesting period is usually between August and October, when the fruits are fully mature. After collection, the fruits are sun-dried and then crushed to extract the seeds. It's important to monitor the pods regularly, as they tend to split open easily once ripe. If not harvested promptly, the seeds can be lost due to natural dispersal.
**Seed Grading:** Before packaging, the seeds must be carefully graded to ensure purity, proper moisture content, and no contamination by foreign materials. The grading standards are as follows: First-grade seeds have a germination rate of ≥98%, second-grade ≥95%, and third-grade ≥92%. During use, a 5% deviation below the standard is acceptable for all seed grades.
**Packaging:** Due to their small size, semi-branch lotus seeds are packaged in moisture-proof paper bags as inner packaging and printed paper bags as outer packaging. Care must be taken during handling to avoid mixing seeds of different grades or varieties. For wholesale, each package contains 200–300 grams; for retail, it's 0.03–0.05 grams per package.
**Storage Management:** Seeds should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place with good ventilation. The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and 15°C.
**Storage Duration:** When stored under these conditions, the seeds can remain viable for up to one year without affecting their ability to germinate and grow into healthy plants.
**Gardening Use:** The semi-branch lotus plant is compact and has a long blooming season, making it ideal for flower arrangements and potted plants. Its ornamental value is high, especially in garden beds or containers.
**Sowing Recommendations:** Sowing is best done from March to May each year. Because the seeds are very small, it's recommended to mix them with 20 times their volume in fine sand before sowing to ensure even distribution and better germination rates. This method helps prevent over-sowing and improves seed utilization.
Gas Grill
The gas oven is a modern cooking device that combines efficient heating and easy operation. It uses clean gas as an energy source to heat ingredients quickly and evenly through a precisely controlled flame, and whether it is baking pizza, barbecue or baked bread, it can be easily harnessed to bring mouthwatering taste. Gas ovens are not only easy to operate and quickly preheat, but also energy efficient, making them ideal for modern kitchens and commercial dining venues.
When the Gas Pizza Oven is working, the gas flow is controlled by the gas valve. After the ignition device ignites the gas, the flame burns in the furnace to produce high temperature. Heat is transferred to the pizza through the furnace wall, which heats it evenly and gradually RIPS it. Gas pizza ovens are usually equipped with temperature control systems that can precisely adjust the baking temperature to ensure the baking effect of the pizza.
High efficiency: Gas Pizza Oven heating speed, can reach the required baking temperature in a short time, improve baking efficiency.
Temperature control: Equipped with advanced temperature control system, the baking temperature can be accurately adjusted to meet the baking needs of different pizzas.
Environmental protection and energy saving: Gas as a clean energy, combustion produces less waste gas, less pollution to the environment. At the same time, the gas pizza oven has a high energy efficiency ratio, which can effectively reduce energy consumption.
Easy to clean: Components such as furnaces and baking nets are usually made of easy-to-clean materials, which facilitate daily maintenance and maintenance.
